A group of friends took me to a favorite restaurant for a birthday
lunch. I had chicken salad. Delicious! It was a beautiful day--74°
bright and sunny.

I live in a fairly mild area (coast of Virginia). We rarely get
snow and when we do, it doesn't last long. For that reason, I
love to see the snow and cheer it on. I do like season changes. I
would not like living in a place where it's always warm and
doesn't snow. I enjoy being inside on a nice cold day. Change
can be a good thing.

A typical summer scenario here is days and days of morning temps
of 85F and 94% humidity. That's bad but what makes it worse is
that early mornings, there is no wind. No breeze at all. I go
out of my house and opening my front door feels like I am walking
into a steamy bathroom where someone just took a long hot shower.
Just walking maybe 40 steps to my van and I'm already sweating.
Now imagine going to work outside in those conditions. It's not
a good thing to do.

I like having the four seasons. It is great to see a nice blanket of
snow on the ground. It is great to have a good dump of snow and then
have the sky clear up and make everything bright and cherry. The
change, or lack thereof, it is the problem. My birthday is in mid
November and we can count on snow on or before it. The motorcycle, kayak
and bicycles will have been put away for the season. We may or may not
have snow on the ground until the end of March, but is likely to be damp
and/or cold until the end of March..... 4 1/2 months of it. A week of
winter and snow would satisfy me.

That would be a hot spell for us. Heat warnings are issued when he get
into the high 80s.

Yes, I'd take a single 24" snow storm once rather than a half dozen
smaller ones that leave things a continuous mess. We may be getting
another 9" of so on Tuesday. I'm ready for spring weather.

I really liked the 2 weeks of shorts and T shirts I had last month.

Yeah. I am now suffering from what I always dreaded about a southern
winter vacation. It is a lot warmer here than it was before the left for
Georgia, but it is about 40 degrees colder than the near perfect weather
we had down there. Our current temperatures would be great had it not
been for that hot spell down there.

It has a lot to do with what you are acclimated to. At 80F here, we
might turn on a fan.

It's been rather cold here for the past 2 weeks. It's strange. My friend says that now he doesn't have to sell his house and move to CA. We both guffawed out loud when he said that.
